Anxiety of myoma patients: results of standardized interviews with the State Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Kessler 10 questionnaire.

Conclusions: Myoma-related fears correlated with higher mental distress and elevated state and trait anxiety levels. Thus, physicians can contribute to the overall well-being of patients when they relieve them of the myoma-related anxiety. Further research is needed to determine whether treatment has any impact on anxiety or mental distress. PMID: 31179813 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
